About
I am an Assistant Professor of Oncology and a member of the Cancer Control Program in the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center at Georgetown University. Since beginning my appointment at Georgetown in 2003, I have investigated the impact of culture on cancer screening and survivorship experiences among Asian Americans. Supported by funding from the American Cancer Society, a National Cancer Institute (NCI) R03 grant, and Susan G. Komen for the Cure, I recently completed evaluation of cultural tailoring of an intervention video in promoting mammography screening among immigrant Chinese American women. My research interests include biological and psychosocial impact on cancer prevention and care, health disparities, culturally competent health communication, health behavior changes, cancer survivorship, integrated care (e.g., mind-body medicine), and hospice care. In addition to my research activities, I also teach courses on tobacco and alcohol use, culture and lifestyle, cancer screening and survivorship, and behavioral intervention research.
